hi David it a horrible feeling when you're not able to sleep, I never go to bed before 3 am ,its like my brains doing overtime. Lol I sometimes don't get up to 1pm it's terrible . I take promethazine there a relaxer but I don't like taking them all the time .i do I take sertraline 150 tabs as soon as I get up everyday.Julie ☺

Don't worry if it's just a few nights. It is likely it will settle. Consider if there is a reason behind it eg are you worrying about somethings .This is the standard advice beh-mht.nhs.uk/Downloads/GP...

My problems began with 4 weeks without any sleep at all and have now gone into 4 years of poor sleep which are all due to worry following being caught in a financial scam.

Good luck

Dave.

hi goldfish yes I have intrusive thoughts which makes Me not able to sleep sometimes it makes me so upset.☺ julie

So then it's working on meditation, healthy eating, exercise. That's quite a hefty dose of sertraline, what about requesting a change to mirtazepine which is much more sedating and taken in the evening 15-30mg.

Going to bed at 3am is bad as is getting up at 1am. Do you not have a job or daytime occupation? Routine is good to establish and plenty of daytime exercise.

Some of the principles of dbt maybe worthwhile such as opposite actions mindfulnessmuse.com/dialect...

It's obviously a viscous circle if you then get upset about not sleeping!

I hope you can conquer it. Sleep s important for the brain to settle.

Not sure which country you're in but I see you're replying at 4am uk time and I'm here at 5am!

Hi

Sorry to hear that.

Have you tried herbal sleeping tabs?

I take them with hemp tabs and they help me relax and I get about four hours a night.

Good luck.

hi fibropop yes I take promethazine I sometimes. Take 2 at night but sometimes I try not to take them everyday as they can be addictive.. Julie☺

Hi. I've been feeling like this for a week now. I've spoken to the doctor and have just had a blood test. I've been suffering from mild depression. But she said the feeling of being hungover can be caused by dehydration which can be a mild kidney infection or mixed glucose levels. I sympathise I've it's disrupted my sleep also and I feel constantly exhausted. I get my results next week. So I'll give you and update. X
